RESEARCH GOALS
A comprehensive approach will be followed as shown in Figure 2.
The main research goals of this project are:
• Understand the mechanisms of EPS overproduction and regulate
EPS properties by adjusting bioreactor operation conditions.
• Study the processes and kinetics of flocculation in relation to EPS
properties, colloid properties, water chemistry and hydrodynamic
conditions.
• Develop strategies to enhance EPS flocculation performance in
a case study under industrially-relevant conditions
